It wasn't as eye-averting as the previous week's debacle at Baylor, but the result was the same for Iowa State on Saturday.

It wasn’t as eye-averting as the previous week’s debacle at Baylor, but the result was the same for Iowa State on Saturday.

A blowout loss.

The Cyclones fell 58-27 to the No. 19 Oklahoma State Cowboys at Jack Trice Stadium, getting trampled in the process. Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) entered the day 96th nationally in rushing at 136.5 yards per game, then ran wild for 342 yards on 47 attempts against overmatched ISU (1-6, 0-4).

Desmond Roland did the most damage, as the former second-stringer rushed for 219 yards and four touchdowns on 26 carries. He helped the Cowboys jump out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, and they never trailed.

Iowa State played the entire contest without starting running back Aaron Wimberly and much of it sans starting quarterback Sam Richardson, who left midway through the second quarter with a neck and back tightness following a hard hit.

Richardson completed 6 of 15 passes for 95 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Backup Grant Rohach was 12-for-23 for 97 yards, a touchdown and an interception. ISU rushed for 154 yards on 48 carries, a 3.2 average.

Quenton Bundrage had two first-half touchdown receptions as the Cyclones hung around, trailing just 28-20 at halftime. But the Cowboys scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to put it out of reach, and ISU was hurt by three turnovers, 10 penalties and a 4-of-20 showing on third-down conversions.
